What do I read next?

Looking for the next great book? We've got you covered. There are a ton of resources at your disposal. Here's a great plan for finding that next page-turner:

1)Ask a librarian! Our staff of librarians are eager reader's advisors who are voracious readers themselves. We just love sharing this love with you and helping put that next great book right in your hands.

2)Themed book guides. Once again our knowledgeable librarians have made it easy for you by creating themed book guides on frequently sought-after books. Our collection includes title-specific book discussion guides, Christian Fiction guides, an Outdoor Adventure guide, Erotica and much, much more! New guides are always being added so keep checking back.

3)Displays. Throughout the library you will find clever, engaging displays that help narrow down the selection to a more managable selection. (I'll let you in on a secret. Librarians consider it a tiny victory every time a book is taken from a display). Look back at some of our great displays on our Pinterest board.

5)Attend a Book Talk Cafe Our cafe is run 3-4 times per year and is a great venue for readers to gather and find all sorts of recommendations. There's nothing better than sharing a book that you loved with another reader.

6)Subscribe to the Next Reads newsletters service and get suggestions delivered right to your in-box.
